Description

Boswell and the Press challenges the traditional scholarly dismissal of James Boswell's periodical writing, pamphlets, and broadsides as trivial or superficial. This collection of essays from Rutgers University Press demonstrates that Boswell's ephemeral writing deserves serious critical attention and substantially enhances our understanding of his capabilities as an author. By examining his work across multiple print formats, the contributors reveal how the print environment shaped his literary interests and proclivities. Rather than viewing these occasional pieces as minor works unworthy of study, the essays show how they illuminate Boswell's broader literary career and intellectual pursuits. Scholars of eighteenth-century literature, print history, and literary biography will find this volume essential for reassessing Boswell's complete body of work and his role in the evolving media landscape of his time.
